Hello, I am running win 7. Yes and Old computer. When the system is running slow I do a task manager to see what might be causing it.

I have noticed multiple Firefox processes running with 0 CPU usage. What are all those for and do I need them? Can I disable them?

On a separate issue I am getting this rendering error. This may be a Microsoft question, but I thought I'd ask. Error in rendering player Error Code: 400-404 Session Id: k6x4392p (Pls: 35a725dd-3aac-4813-8431-159ebc196c01)

Lastly I did contact support about uninstalling two Firefox programs. I deleted the one you said.

Thanks again for all the help, Irv
